As far as I'm concerned, the day they did away with the "Dunkin donut" years ago was the end of the franchise in my mind. That donut was how they started and it was awesome.

Perhaps a different name would help more. Something like............Tim Horton's 😜

IMO this is fail. Dunkin' does not make me think of beverages only. TBH I have not been in one in 25+ years. I used to make the donuts for years and I never want to go back.

To evolve with the times... It's KFC now... no mention of fried for what a decade now?

They're on a great path it seems, now that I think about it seems like they have been preparing for this for awhile now for years their slogan has been "America runs on Dunkin"

spotify changed their logo awhile ago, like it was a hugeeee difference 🤦
I think they do it for the sake of doing it without any concrete results that support their theories...

Here it is, the Dunkin donut in all it's doughy goodness. RIP 2003. Best donut ever.

Steve...for the record, the "D" that you depicted in your post looks yellow on this end. It should be orange. 👍

Those vintage commercials were the best. Right up there with Wendy's "Where's the beef?" All these companies are trying to be hip and unfortunately their not!

I love the idea that they thought dropping the word “fried” from their name would improve their image. Let’s not talk about the crazy eyed plantation owner they use as their mascot.
